Actors did a great job, loved the story line, music and aeronautical engineering & flying stunts. Admittedly, I’m not a total Tom Cruise fan, but he did a great job as lead actor. First off, I liked how he personally spoke to the audience before the movie started, great touch. The range of emotions he displayed throughout the movie were wonderfully acted. Miles Teller did a really good job as Goose’s son. Veteran actors were wonderful. Scenes with Val Kilmer & Cruise were terrific. Jennifer Connally had nice chemistry with him. The high octane action & flying stunts were fantastic! Jon Hamm’s performance was also a standout. My husband and I both enjoyed the movie very much! First movie we have gone to in about 4 yrs!
